Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
An anion is formed during ionic bonding when an atom gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. This occurs when nonmetallic elements gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and attain stability.

alkaline earth metal forms a +2 cation and halogen forms a -1 anion alkaline earth metal is a metal and halogens are non metals therefore the bond between them is ionic
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
metals
yes one is metallic and the other is nonmetallic
An Ionic bond.
Yes, iron (III) fluoride (FeF3) is an ionic compound. Iron (III) ion (Fe3+) is a cation, while fluoride ion (F-) is an anion. The electrostatic attraction between these ions forms an ionic bond in iron (III) fluoride.
